	Since Luna explained about the portal hidden within the castle in the Crystal Empire, where Cadence rule, I had been curious to see, just what the place was like.

Now I had made up my mind, and having short of thirty moons to do so was more than enough for me.  Now I had made all the preparations.

The only real problem, letting my friends and the ponies of Ponyville know, without revealing what I had in mind.  I was particularly weary about allowing either Cadence, Shining Armour, Celestia or Luna know what I was up to, just in case, maybe.



As I got to the other side of the gate, I'm just as confused as Twilight Sparkle had been.  I guess I should have known.  It seems to be an integrated part of the process of the transit?  She had been just as confused both times.  Now it hit me, as well.

Unlike her, I have no element with me, I had no need for it and none other felt the need to pull it through either, thankfully.

I had come in the name of curiosity, I guess this is part of my random self?  I just couldn't resist.  Now I hope I'm not stuck here for the next thirty moons.   However long this would be.  With that, I'd have the same three days she had, back then.



None was there, maybe I had come earlier in the morning, and the light overhead seems to confirm it, the sun barely up.  I struggled with the steps as I walked to the building, then opened the door.  It's empty, just as good.

To my surprise, or maybe I shouldn't have been, there is a note posted, spelling out something of some interest.  There was a party before the three days were up.  That could be fun, now I could see it and be there for myself.

Unlike Twilight, I knew what and whom I had been looking for.  They were supposedly all here.  Was the other me planning this party, just like then?
